Inspired by “Crossing the Waters”

Black suit, black coffin, black cat, a stream of people.

Where do the black coffins travel to?

Their routes under de burial-ground must link all the dead stars above it

 

The droplets of water falling on the cemetery’s grass

The trees mourning with the mortals

Nature holding in its silent tears

 

A man walking in procession at his own funeral

People swirling around him like the black death

Withered branch, withered limb

 

The galaxies with his soul in the palm of their hand

Where does such an existence go to?

Truly a secret for the cosmos alone to unfold
